Yes, a lot of us are bugged by this .. do a google search to pick up
the ubuntu forums thread with some comments and ideas to eliminate it.
 Possibly 'sudo /etc/init.d/hotkey-setup stop' might work .. if it
doesn't disable something you need, you can 'sudo chmod -x 
/etc/init.d/hotkey-setup' to disable it permanently.
